Xigmatek HDT-SD964 HSF CPU Cooler Review

Quote:

First off let's look at Xigmatek's "Heat-pipe Direct Touch" approach. This is the main reason the HDT-SD964 heatsink handles heat the way it does. The arrangement of copper heatpipes minimizes thermal resistance as heat energy is conducted directly to the heatpipes, rather than through some intermediary heatspreader. The four 6mm diameter heatpipes thread up through aluminum cooling fins of the HDT-SD964 heatsink where heat is quickly and efficiently dissipated into the surrounding air mass.
